My new favorite winery. I 1st discovered it in 2013 while on a road trip and saw a billboard on I-40 for Arkansas wine country. Mt. Bethel is where I am sure to stop anytime I'm in AR. Now that I have friends who moved to Yellville a few years ago, I get here more often. I like to open a bottle back home in Washington snobby wine areas and ask folks to give me their straight up honest opinion. Then I show them the label. As Gomer Pyle would say...'surprise surprise surprise!'

This family owned and operated winery offers several unique wines. I especially love their Muscadine wines.

We loved it here even though not what I expected. Peggy (the owner) is amazing and made the experience awesome! Very tasty wine !!!!!!

After being in Arkansas for 30 years, I finally got to visit "wine country". Out of the 3 that are available to visit, this was mine & my husband favorite!! The atmosphere is more intimate. The service is a LOT more personable & the people are so much nicer!! I highly recommend you make this your last stop or your only stop if you're visiting. I also highly recommend their wild plum wine!!

Great family winery!!

Hands down the best winery experience in Altus. Small family owned winery, with the best dry reds in Arkansas. On the sweeter side, the port was fantastic. We got a tour of the winery and a wonderful education on the history of Mount Bethel and Altus. We started our day here but ended up coming back because it was our favorite place.

**Edited to add- I called the winery as suggested below (although they had my phone number from my conversation yesterday- I gave it to Peggy). They are not willing to do anything to make this right on my end. The woman I talked to was the owner but didn’t know anything about my call yesterday or the Google response below. I was told “oh, that was by someone in a different office.” The winery wants me to drive 4 hours to bring the bad wine to them. When I suggested they send me a refund, she laughed and said, “why would I do that?” I will never go back there or buy their wine.I never write reviews. However, my experience at Mt Bethel Winery warrants one. I have been there a few times, never an issue- delicious wine. However, I visited a month ago and bought 5 bottles, 2 of them were the red table wine (my favorite). The first bottle was bad- smelled and tasted strongly like nail polish remover. I threw it out. Sent them an email to let them know. I never heard anything. I opened the second bottle of red table wine days ago. The same problem- smelled and tasted like finger nail polish remover. I called the winery yesterday. They were zero help. I live 4 hours from Altus so I can’t just stop by. No offer to refund me the 2 bottles. When I suggested shipping 2 other bottles to me- that was flat out refused because it would be “too expensive.” I haven’t opened the other 3 bottles I bought there yet. Hoping they aren’t spoiled. Extremely disappointed in how I was dealt with as a customer on the phone.
A MUST stop! Visit with Ms. Peggy a while and get the best tasting wines to take home with you, plus a t-shirt or two. The blackberry is my favorite. Grab a case or two so you have plenty for gift giving.

Small yet mighty winery. Tasting was fun and informative. Impressive history of the winery - worth the trip. Very accommodating hostess. Gift shop items are great as well.

Ms. Peggy is reason enough to stop for an hour or two. Fourth generation wine maker whokows all about the area, the grapes, the wine making, everything! The tasting room is in an old storm cellar which gives it super cool character. They have a wide variety of wines, even a port, and average price is around $10.
